INFANTS BIB.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 26, 1908.

Application filed May 15, 1906. Serial No. 317,043.

provements in Infants Bibs, of which the following is a full and clear description, reference being had to the accompanying drawn ings.

The object of this invention is to provide a.

childs bib, especially useful in keeping the childs dress and clothing thoroughly dry, protecting the chest from dampness, and preventing colds and pneumonia.

,In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front view, partly broken away, of a bib lnade according to my invention Fig. 2 is a sectional view of such bib, on the line Ill-II, Fig. 3 shows the layer of absorbent cloth, and Fig. Ll' shows the layer of waterproof material.

The bib comprises the body or chest portion made up of separate plies or thicknesses A and D, of cloth or other material, and havingl the opening B to 'lit the shoulder portions to the neck of the wearer. The two thicknesses of material are secured at their outer edges, by stitching C, so as to leave a pocket between the plies or thicknesses A and D. Such pocket has the inner edge (the neck portion) left open, and is intended to receive a separable layer E of absorbent material-such as absorbent cotton-and a separable layer F of waterproof material-such as oil-skin or rubber.

Each layer is preferably formed to 'lit the bottom and sides of the pocket before reF ferred to, and cut away at its neck portion (as indicated at e and f) as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The waterproof layer may, as shown, be slightly smaller than the layer of absorbent material.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A bib comprising two plies of material secured at their outer edges and unconnected at the neck portion of the bib so as to form a pocket within the bib, in combination with a layer of absorbent material within, separable from and formed to iit the pocket, and with a layer of waterproof material also within, separable from and formed to 'lit the pocket.
